This exhibition showcases large-scale, Realist drawings that immerse viewers in the quiet force of the natural life cycle. The works explore themes of patience, mastery, and the human experience in our environment, capturing profound moments of growth, decay, and renewal. Through meticulous detail and scale, the artist’s drawings evoke an emotional resonance, inviting reflection on the slow, transformative processes of nature and the deep connections between time, effort, and life. These pieces remind us of the power of stillness and observation in understanding both the natural world and our own emotional landscapes.
Ann Margaret Morris grew up in rural Pennsylvania and lives currently in Baltimore City. Her work consists of large-scale charcoal drawings on paper. She holds a BFA from The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and has recently completed the Extended Residency Program at Center Arts and Studios. For the last 13 years she has worked in oncology research for the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. She would love to talk to you about pencil sharpeners.
About Us:
The Phaze 2 Gallery is a cultural contact point between the Shepherdstown community and the outside world of contemporary art. We primarily exhibit emerging artists who are working to elevate the way our visitors think and see by challenging the popular concepts and traditions of their disciplines. Our intimate, versatile gallery venue offers artists the freedom to experiment and refine new approaches in their work before moving on to larger exhibition sites. As an instructional tool for the Department of Contemporary Art and Theater of Shepherd University, the Phaze 2 Gallery provides a discursive arena for our students, exhibiting artists, community, and art faculty.
